File uploads

How can I upload a file to a Kelp program?

Thanks :)

@rawleyfowler I turned this into a discussion.

Kelp does not contain any special code to handle file uploads. You can handle uploaded files using https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack::Request#uploads, which is available in Kelp::Request (since Kelp::Request is a subclass of Plack::Request). The (very short) mention of that in the Kelp manual is here: https://metacpan.org/dist/Kelp/view/lib/Kelp/Manual.pod#File-uploads

From what I remember, Plack::Request uploads looks for files in multipart/form-data forms. This should be useful: https://everything.curl.dev/http/post/multipart.html

If you find Plack::Request handling of uploads unsatisfactory, you can always handle them yourself, for example by decoding a file from base64 contained in POST body.

Thank you, I got it working with the Plack documentation!
